I used to dread this place because of the stench, but most importantly, the workers. BUT now, every time I go, everyone is kind and quick, and I appreciate that I can go toss my trash.
They have a place for things like paint or TVs, another for tires, and even for metal scrap (yes, you need to separate things like chemicals and batteries from your trash, you don't want them mixing with the rain water). The services are either free or cheap, you just need to present a recent water bill.
If more people used these services properly, our city would be much nicer. Remember to recycle and separate your trash properly! You can recycle used oil at the AutoZone...

If you live in Laredo, TX you can drive here and dump refuse for free. (Call their office for updates and changes.) Charges start at 2000 lbs. and above for trash, but you are eligible for a discount if you take and show a copy of your water/trash bill. It was nice to learn the facility is open on Saturdays, but it's best to get there by 4:30 PM, since the place closes at 5 PM and there's usually a line.
FYI: separate your HAZMAT products from regular trash. HAZMAT goes to a separate facility. Use the right lane going in. It moves quicker. No need to reweigh on the way out, if you didn't exceed the 2000 lb. limit.
Take advantage of the service. It's part of the money you pay as a citizen of Laredo, TX. If you don't have time to drive here, call their office and arrange for an onsite pickup at your residence. Español

Si vive en Laredo, Texas, puede llegar aquí en coche y tirar su basura gratis. (Llame a su oficina para actualizaciones y cambios.) Los cargos empiezan a partir de 2000 lb (900 kg), de basura, pero puede obtener un descuento si lleva y muestra una copia de su factura de agua/basura. Nos alegra saber que el centro abre los sábados, pero es mejor llegar antes de las 4:30 p. m., ya que cierra a las 5 p. m. y probablemente haya una fila.
Aviso: separe sus productos HAZMAT/materiales peligrosos de la basura normal. Los HAZMAT van a un centro aparte. Use el carril derecho al entrar. Se mueve más rápido. No es necesario volver a pesar al salir, si no excedió el límite de 2000 lb (900 kg).
Aproveche el servicio. Es parte de su pago como ciudadano de Laredo, Texas. Si no tiene tiempo para llegar en coche, llame a la oficina y programe una recogida en...
